I know I'm not alone in my love of this group. I followed them on CBC, and in concert, and saw Brain Candy (which I thought was funny), and their last get-together, Death Comes to Town.
I only found out about this new series by accident, and I'm SO happy.
A big question I've thought about over the last decade is the fearfulness these so-called SJWs have inflicted,and it makes for the death of comedy, or more accurately, the silencing of anyone who doesn't thi k like they do.
Over the past few decades, the idiotic 'social justice' iidiots, who are MORE prone to censorship than any iron curtain natios have become the self-annointed arbiters of what's 'allowable'.
The days of being able to make fun of things and NOT worry have disappeared. If he were just starting out today, Lenny Bruce wouldn't need to worry about those group who silenced him in the 60s, instead, he'd be silenced by the very side who stood UP for him, back then.
When I saw a (pre-series launch) interview with the Kids o (CBC's) The National, though I was thrilled to see them all together, the inteciew only nauseated me because, if anything, free speech in a democracy IS what a democracy stands for, yet, the SJWs of the two nations of North America seem to want to crush it, and when I saw host, Ian Hanomansing talking how much of was was 'allowable' then, isn't.
As an example, Ian turned to Scott, who's Buddy Cole was easily the most outspoken, subversive character on the original series, and while tacitly summarising Scott as being the 'gay' one (which Scott is, and has no qualms about), and then says how when they (The National) went to pick a clip of buddy Cole's, they (The National) found "...there's nothing from a Buddy Cole skit satirising racial stereotypes that we (CBC) felt we could play now', and all they show was a few seconds ('... it reminds me of something Yoko Ono said to Malcolm X...'.) with NO context as to WHY he's saying what he's saying.
That's pathetic.
If anyone were to be 'offended' now, it's people like me, who are OFFENDED by such paranoia , a very sad indicator of how backwards Western democracies society's become - IN JUST a few decades.
I know I'm not alone being thrilled to have the Kids back, but, it terrifies me any HINT of either censorship, or people (or, in this case, a network) WORRYING that 'someone' MIGHT find something offencive.
In fact, the ones media should realty be worried about... offending are people like me, who are OFFENDED by such paranoia.
That's something everyone needs to understand - that (mostly) the very young, and young adults, who were inculcated with this victimhood ideology are being pandered to, and the actual adults - of all races,creeds and colours are being ostracised.
